Tonight's creativity came in the form fruit. A perfect specimen to study for practicing shading and adding dimension, texture, and edible too!
I really liked the changing the focal point for an interesting outcome:
Fruit is a great subject as it is often around the house and can be complex and interesting from different angles.
Though charcoal is not my favorite medium as it is messy and does not last very long, it is cheap and quick to get an effect of a shape and depth of a subject. What I do like charcoal for is practicing concepts for more complex pieces.
If you do like working with or create a piece that you want to keep around there are some finishing sprays to keep the charcoal intact.
